WES TANAC is the winner of the 2003 Bowl-Pundits pool. Wes came from behind by winning eight of the last nine games.
Kyle Doyel, Marc Bradford and Bill Maffett had the most wins, picking 18/25 games correctly against the spread, but Marc had most of his wins early and Bill missed on the Sugar Bowl game.
Former winners finished 31st (Paul Baisted) and 98th (Clark Olson).
Picking all the underdogs (designated by "DOGS" in the standings) would have resulted in a 50th place finish. Picking all the favorites ("FAVS") finished only 75th.
Oregon State fans took three of the top eight places after taking four of the top ten last year.
The CONSENSUS picks finished in 73rd place, proving once again that the most popular choices aren't always the best ones.
Three entrants had the exact tiebreaker number (points in Sugar Bowl). They are designated by a (*) next to their score. One of them was Andy I, who finished dead last with a 5-20 record (which is more difficult than getting 18 wins).
Here are the final standings. All ties are broken by (1) wins and (2) tiebreak number.
